THE publications of the A.'. A.'. divide themselves into four classes.
Some publications are composite, and pertain to more than one class.
LIBER VII. --- "Liber Liberi Vel Lapidis Lazvli, Advmbratio Kabbalae
AEgyptiorvm Svb Figvra VII," being the Voluntary Emancipation of a
certain Exempt Adept from his Adeptship. These are the Birth Words
of a Master of the Temple.

chapters are referred to the seven planets in the following order:
Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Sol, Mercury, Luna, Venus.
LIBER LXVI. --- "Liber Stellae Rubeae." A secret ritual, the Heart of
IAO- OAI, delivered unto V.V.V.V.V. for his use {44} in a certain matter

An account of Initiation, and an indication as to those who are
suitable for the same.

Angels of the thirty AETHYRS, the Vision and the Voice.

of all visions, the cries of the Angels should be regarded as accurate,

understood as the foundation of the Aspiration of the Adept. The
account of the Master of the Temple should in particular be taken as
authentic.
